Finally, my first silver rosie

[7up2000]

I started metal detecting in June 2014. I've hunted for hundreds of hours--I've hunted city parks, schools, ballfields, old houses, old motels, old foundations, etc. Until today, I had found 152 CLAD Roosevelt dimes and 0 silver Rosies. I was frustrated. Well that changed today. While leaving a city park in which I had just dug clad for the last hour, I decided to detect around the fence entrance. Quickly, the Fisher F2 was ringing up a consistent "quarter" hit. Oh nice, I thought, I found a quarter. About 4" down, out pops a relatively clean dime. Alas, it was a 1954 silver Rosie. My first silver Rosie! The quest has finally ended. I can hang up the metal detector.

Congrats! Good thing about detecting is once one quest has been completed, there is ALWAYS another to go on.

Better late then never. That one is in good shape, too!

No kidding. I didn't think it was ever going to happen. I had found 2 mercury dimes prior, but I thought Rosies should be easier to find then mercs -- so that was adding to the frustration.

Get a small treasure chest and drop it in

Congrats on your 1st silver rosie. There are plenty more out there just waiting for you. I started this hobby in May 2014 and have found 21 silver coins this year. 7 were from public property and the rest came from private property.
